Re: Necklace

Re: Necklace

Thanks ziggy, sorry to ask a little stupid what is ploki does that mean it is not gold?

Re: Necklace

who is she...i saw a lot of pictures of her in a magzine but couldn't figure out who she was.

Re: Necklace

Yup, that's a Bunto kameez & dupatta. She's wearing her wedding outfit. And I LOVE those simple polki necklaces! Polki btw is uncut diamonds but obviously you can get regular stones put in there. An actual Polki necklace cost upward 10-40 lakh or more.

Does anyone know if you could just get that made in gold and use a few polki stones and mix w/ other stone? what would be the price for that? I think a panchlara haar and a simple polki necklace would look so badass for a baraat!

so ur saying polki sets are this expensive? ive seen a few on this forum.. or do u call it also polki if other stones are put in?
i dont understand anymore :P

Re: Necklace

^ polki = uncut diamonds = $$$$$

Are these really diamonds you are talking about?
i have somthing in reall diamond i woul really would like to share in this forum,its my engagement ring from dubai from where i am..
:flower1: :flower2:

Polki are uncut diamonds, it's not the style of the necklace. It refers to the material it's made of, basically. And also, polki is really easy to replicate so what the bride up there may be wearing is a gold set w/ kundan stones or crystals since a full polki necklace, such as the posted one, cost 10 lakh plus.

Its means

Pokli= Diamonds ?

Kundan= ?

I hope you can answer this.
Thanks Mena

Re: Necklace

kundan= glass stones

kundan jewelry is made with lac and usually the stones are set in 24k gold foil on top of the lac.

thats why there is a HUGE price difference between polki and kundan.

polki is uncut diamonds set in gold. kundan is glass stones set in lac and gold foils.

Thanks Sumorani :-)

Re: Necklace

yes this set is from chottanis and cost 25 lacs just for the necklace and earrings !!

What if you were to use kundan/crystal stones to replicate polki set in gold? That wouldn't be too expensive, right? Like say if we wanted this exact same set but not pure polki in it?

Re: Necklace

^yes clearly you would mainly be spending money on the gold since there would be no diamonds in it. it will be much less expensive.

Re: Necklace

Thanks, Sumo! I always wondered about that because I love the look if polki!
